Jesus the teacher
Children's sermon
Object:
A lesson book, ruler, glue, attendance chart -- items a
teacher might use in class
Good morning! How many of you are in school? (Let them respond
by raising their hands.) What happens in school? (Let them
answer.) You might use items such as these in school. Who is an
important person in the classroom? (Let them answer.) The teacher
is certainly important. The teacher is the one who helps us
learn. Teaching is a very, very important job.
Did you know that Jesus was a great teacher? He was. Many times they even called him "Teacher." (The Hebrew word for teacher is "Rabbi.") One day he invited all his students to come with him to the top of a mountain. He had them all sit down so that they might learn something about God. Then he opened his mouth and taught them.
The important lesson he taught them that day is something called "The Sermon on the Mount." It was really less a sermon than a teaching. Jesus, the teacher, said some very important things that day on that mountain. Many people heard him and many people over the years have learned the lesson he taught that day.
When we come to church and Sunday school, we still hope to learn the wise teachings of the teacher.
Dear Teacher Jesus: Thank you for teaching us important things. Amen.
